1. Learn the Theories
- Read lots of USEFULL Books
- Listen to personal development audio cds
- What inspiration movies
- Invest on carrier guidance, personal development and business seminars.

2. Apply what was learned

3. Fail and learn from it

4. Apply again what was learned

5. Then go back to STEP 1

SUCCESS IN LIFE IS A LEARNING PROCESS !!!

"The measure of a person is not on how well he prepares for everything to go right,
but on how gracefully he stands up, after everything goes wrong, and tries to do it right again"

[Ms.Beau]

Thanks for the above, j_ybanez!

Yes Thanks to our president j_ybanez for the inputs! Man ur gifted ! hehehe

for me:

i just work and work 24 hours. hehehehe no sunday holiday or bedtime. kung kaya kakayahin no reklamo. (Warning: Not good for your health)

i learn from my mistake, trial & error. i research in the internet for the business you like to make and u look for good supplier. love your work (your business). its like an addiction. hunger for work. like me not gifted in term of sales talk , i just work hard nalang. LOve your workers. if possible pay taxes honestly para no hustle.

this is only my opinion

same thing goes with me trabaho nalang ng trabaho

sometimes kc if u really love ur work there are things u tend to forget mau nah mahimo ka ug workaholic and its not good for your health in all aspects jud (physical, mental, psychological)

though, i can say, i have read & studied the theories but i havent really learn much cuz i dont have any application to it. i can say u can really do business with out much capital (ex. just by networking or being the middle man) pero u also need connections in which right now wla pa kaayo ko.

actually, believe kaayo kos sa mga youngster who started their business at their early 20's
esp katong mga chinese, though, i know nga naa sila support sa ilang clan or family

right now, im venturing the net to get other ideas in making money
mas nice if mas daghan kang ideas kay sa wla dba?
